Do you have to buy a Card every Month to keep your Phone Service Activated? Also, are there any Additional Hidden Fees, or is it $20 a Month TOTAL??

I am not sure if there is a "card." $20 gives you 30 days of service. You can pay up a few months in advance or go to your local AT&T store each month and pay $20 on your account. We pay monthly because the service is still new, and we're not sure if we'll experience problems. There are zero additional fees because we activated our unit at our local store as a PREPAID account. We paid in advance for 30 days of service and did not allow them to bill us. Customers who have activated online seem to receive bills with fees. Account must be PREPAID.

nope and that's why I returned it. You still have to have monthly service, nowhere in there a does it say that. I fully installed the entire system and could not get to work with my phone until I called them and they tried to sign me up for the monthly fee. I sent it back and Amazon refunded me my money after reading their ad. Sorry.

I could not get it to activate. YOu would be better to purchase a 29.00 phone from the company and use the card that way. You can also buy a phone at the airport but I would go ahead and prepurchase the phone that way you will know it works. good luck.

The cost of the phone itself is a one time charge. If you want to make or receive calls on it, you have to pay whatever phone company you use for their service.

There is no activation fee .There is Virgin Mobile® Unlimited - virginmobileusa.com‎for info .This is a prepaid phone .You need to pay monthly flat fee .

The monthly fee varies as to how many minutes you wish to prepay. However the "J" phone is no longer being activated-do not buy it and waste $.

No, you can set up a plan where you can top-up every three months. I pay $15 every three months and as long as I don't use more than the pop-up amount, I don't have to pay any more. You can choose how much you want to pop-up and how frequently. It's a very flexible program and very econmical if you don't use your cell phone a lot. I don't give my cell phone number to too many people. I use it primarily to make out-going calls on an emergency basis. Works great for me.

For Tracfone there is no monthly fee. When you buy minutes, you get a specific activation period (30, 60, 90, 365 days) and you need to buy more when either the minutes or the time run out. All minutes roll over as long as the phone is kept activated.

You have to buy minutes when they run out or when your time runs out. For example: I always buy the card that loads 400 minutes (which triples to 1200) card with 365 days of service. It's the best deal. Before one of those runs out you have to reload. I don't use my phone excessively so that card lasts me the full year before I have to reload. Hope this helps. Deb

I purchased the phone and then bought that card from amazon. I called up Verizon and they got me going and phone works fine , only thing is you will have to go on a month to month to month plan through them which will cost around 80-90 dollars a month.

We purchased the phone on amazon to replace one my son broke on our Verizon plan. We were able to go onto Verizon online and activate it. There was no activation fee. The regular monthly payment as part of our share everything plan remained the same.

It came with 20 minutes free for activation, but we use the 40 minutes/3 month option with double-minutes to get 80 minutes (19.99). It has been all I need. You will need to set up an account though and keep it active or you will lose the number. Mine has cost me about 6-7 bucks per month.

You pay the charge to activate phone. I bought this phone for my niece & added her to my plan.

I activated mine. I had to take it to verizon and get a SIM card though. The fee for the card is $5.00. If you have the same phone already just slide the sim carc out of the previous one and replace in new phone and turn on. Everythg should just transfer over.

I actually bought the phone for my mom because her phone broke. She was under contract with Verizon and they are letting her use it. I believe that the only thing if anything that will be charge from Verizon is the activation fee. I had trouble activating it myself, but I called customer service and they walked me through it. Hope this helps:)
